Add --soft-backup option to cryptech_backup.
cryptech_backup is designed to help the user transfer keys from one Cryptech HSM to another, but what is is a user who has no second HSM supposed to do for backup? The --soft-backup option enables a mode in which cryptech_backup generates its own KEKEK instead of getting one from the (nonexistent) target HSM. We make a best-effort attempt to keep this soft KEKEK secure, by wrapping it with a symmetric key derived from a passphrase, using AESKeyWrapWithPadding and PBKDF2, but there's a limit to what a software-only solution can do here. The --soft-backup code depends (heavily) on PyCrypto.
